Casbah presents Julien Baker at the Observatory North Park!


Casbah presents Julien Baker 
with special guests DEHD & Katie Malco 
Observatory North Park
November 2  All Ages  7pm
Tickets on sale Friday, April 9 at 10am

It's been a hot minute since I've had any good music news around here, which is why it makes me so excited to share that Julien Baker will be performing at the Observatory North Park. The show is set to take place on November 2, 2021 and will be an all ages show. 

Julien's 2021 release, Little Oblivions, has been getting some serious repetitive plays in our speakeasy and the opportunity to hear it live is enough reason for all of us to get vaccinated and get our collective shit together to squash this pandemic, so we can all be in the same room at the same time listening to this amazing performer live. I've had the pleasure of working at both of her sold out shows at The Irenic (R.I.P. venue) as well as catching her show with Lucy Dacus and Phoebe Bridgers at the Observatory as one third of Boygenius and she is an absolutely stunning live performer who can captivate an audience into dead silent admiration. Little Oblivions is getting all the worthy praises and this show is certain to sell out. Make sure you've got your Ticketmaster login all set up with your credit card when the show goes on sale this Friday at 10am. 

Meanwhile, don't expect shows at the Casbah in the immediate future regardless of the new orange tier and the ability to host live music to vaccinated people at a really small capacity, but don't forget the bar is opening Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 6-10pm to serve cocktails, tacos from Salud, and live DJs in the house. It will all be outside on the patio and Razzmatazz Room. COVID-19 safety protocols require a mask for all guest to be worn at all times except when seated and actively eating or drinking. Consider it a test drive and be on your best behavior so they can continue and expand to longer hours and more days in the future.

Patton Oswalt Live In San Diego To Kick Off Comic-Con, Tickets Onsale Today at 10am

I am trying to catch up with email and I really wanted to post about this earlier this week, but never had the chance. I love Patton Oswalt and seeing comedy shows at Spreckels is actually better than seeing a concert there, in my opinion. Full press release is after the jump.

KPRI Holiday Soiree: November 30 at Balboa Theatre

It's my favorite time of year when all the local radio stations put together their holiday concerts. I just updated details of FM 94/9's Holiday Hootenanny and I never got around to posting about KPRI's Holiday Soiree. This year their show has moved from Spreckels Theatre to Balboa Theater and features Fitz and the Tantrums, The Head and the Heart, and Mayer Hawthorne. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and vary in price from around $40 to $113. You can skip the service charges by purchasing at the Concourse Plaza box office (1100 Third Avenue at B street, adjacent to the Civic Theatre).

91X is going to be announcing their Wrex The Hall lineup today at 8:10 am. It's taking place at Valley View Casino Center on December 10th & 11th and I can tell you that it took one quick Pollstar search to see that Airborne Toxic Event will be on the lineup for the first day. We'll know the rest in a couple hours.

The Casbah Brings Fleet Foxes Back To San Diego

I generally don't project out about upcoming shows, however, since The Decemberists are long sold out for their show next week at the House of Blues (credit to "The Colbert Bump" on that one), I'll give you fair warning for another Casbah Presents show in the indie-rock bible.

Fleet Foxes are returning to San Diego on May 6 and tickets are going on sale this Friday at noon through Ticketmaster and the Spreckels box office. Save this link and get those fingers ready.

A word of advice, if you're not already registered with Ticketmaster, you should head over to the site and create a login and save a credit card to your account. You'll find this speeds up your transaction immensely. I'm sure somewhere out there, presales are available if you know where to look (today at 10 am pst, specifically).

Grab a free download from the Sub Pop band, and grab your tickets. I can't imagine a more perfect room to see the Foxes.

Jason Mraz Free Show Info Released

The full info on the Jason Mraz free show in San Diego has been released.

NEW THIS WEEK :: FREE GETS YOU IN, $1 GETS YOU A SEAT :: LIVE ON EARTH CD/DVD ARTWORK REVEALED! :: NEW TWITPICS SUBMITTED BY FANS LIKE YOU!

Hey everyone, as promised here are the details regarding Jason's San Diego concert! The show takes place October 11th at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater, starting at 6pm with Brett Dennen as special guest and Bushwalla hosting.

"This free show is our way of saying 'thank you' to all our friends in San Diego and Southern California for their incredible support over the past 10 years. We will present the opportunity for San Diego to have a great night of music and sing-alongs with us, and to invite our friends and families and community to join us in supporting some great work being done by charities like Surfrider Foundation, VH1 Save the Music and San Diego Youth Services." -jason


For full info, click 'keep on reading'


Reserved seats will be available for $1, while lawn seats will be FREE, with NO additional service charges. The reserved seats will be sold utilizing Ticketmaster's new paperless ticketing method to discourage resale of tickets. The paperless ticketing requires that the credit card used in the transaction also be presented at the gates for admission to the show. There is a limit of 4 tickets per person. Tickets (both free and for purchase) will be available this Saturday, September 26, at 10am PST through LiveNation.com and Ticketmaster.com, and will be available online only.

There will be a limited number of VIP seats at the front of the reserved section to defray the costs of the show and to maximize proceeds to the charity recipients. The VIP seats will be $75 plus service charges and offer best locations only.

In addition, 30 of the best pairs of tickets in the seated pit will be auctioned, and these 30 packages (only) will include a special after show meet and greet with Jason. All auction proceeds will go towards The Surfrider Foundation, a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans.

Likewise, in the spirit of being green, carpools of three or more people will park for free. Cars containing less than three people will be charged a parking fee.

On-site at Cricket Wireless Amphitheater on the night of the show, Jason will be inviting all the fans in attendance to learn about ways that they can contribute to the work of the non-profit groups, including by way of donations.

"This has become a 'pay what you like' show in reality. We'll give the show up to the fans for free, and ask them to drop in at the charity tables and give the non-profits the money that they think the show is worth. With no obligation to do so, of course, just a suggestion."

Other benefiting charities will include the following:
San Diego Youth Services- an organization that has worked to stabilize the lives of over 500,000 homeless, runaway, and abused and at-risk youth in the San Diego area.
VH1 Save The Music- a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring instrumental music education in American public schools.

"Live Nation and Ticketmaster have been extremely helpful and creative in finding ways to help us implement our plan of a free show. We really could not have offered this opportunity to our fans without their incredible enthusiasm and assistance. Both companies have donated their time and their fees to bring this event together, and I am truly grateful for their support." - jason

A special team will be monitoring customary resale outlets and any tickets for this show found to be offered for resale will be voided an re-offered for public sale at their original prices to protect YOU the real fans!!

More on Jason Mraz Free Show

From Jason Mraz's Website:

Free Show Announced in San Diego!

Did you really think we were going to do a whole tour without stopping in San Diego? Well...that would just be ungrateful now wouldn't it?

Our last act of gratitude will be a tour-ending show in San Diego on October 11 and...it's going to be FREE!! Yes, FREE!! We are working with our firned at LiveNation and Ticketmaster on the best way to distribute the tickets, so that all our fans will get a chance at a seat and so that scalpers don't hold hostage over our true fans!

We will provide you with all the details next week...but we wanted to make sure you heard it from us first.


Go to JasonMraz.com for updates. You can also sign up to get email and text message alerts. I'm gonna guess that this show happens at House of Blues since there is no show currently scheduled at the venue. Cricket Amphitheatre already has a show that night. I'll post more info when available.

Jason Mraz To Play Hollywood Bowl

Java Joe's alum Jason Mraz will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl this fall. It will be Jason's only Southern California performance, not to mention shows at the Hollywood Bowl are nothing short of amazing (and not only because you can BYOB). The show is on Saturday, October 10, but tickets will be available starting Saturday at noon via Ticketmaster (or presale now with your Citi card). Brett Dennen and G. Love and Special Sauce will be opening.

Here's Jason singing one of my favorite songs of all time:

Livenation Fan Appreciation: Don't Fucking Bother

Goddamn LiveNation/Ticketmaster. I feel like such an idiot for even posting about their $10 ticket offer. I might as well be in a hot air balloon for the events they've listed because the tickets suck. Maybe I've been spoiled by seeing my favorite musicians up close at the Casbah and Belly Up, but even for $10 and a shitload of service charges, I'll pass on nosebleeds at My Morning Jacket.

LiveNation Offers $10 Tickets

Sorry I even posted this. The tickets suck and LiveNation is still the enemy. Seriously. Don't even bother.

LiveNation is offering $10 tickets for 11 local shows for only 14 hours on Friday. I'm sure you'll still pay $10 in service charges, and at least $10 for parking at Cricket and Sports Arena, but if these shows were on your radar, might be cool.

The full story is on SignOnSanDiego. I'll be looking at MMJ, Comedians of Comedy and The Swell Season for sure. Tickets at Livenation.com or Ticketmaster.com from 10 am Friday until midnight.

July 26: “Comedians of Comedy,” featuring Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn and Maria Bamford, Spreckels Theatre

Radiohead Coming To San Diego

Last night a friend of mine told me that Radiohead's long anticipated San Diego show will take place at Coors Amphitheatre on August 23. When I get confirmation, I'll post the official date, because now I'm thinking he might have said the 26th. Or the 22nd. Regardless, expect to pay big bucks to see Radiohead this summer.

update: They'll be in SF on 8/22 at the Outside Lands Music & Art Festival, so expect them here a couple days before or after that. More info when I get it...

Livenation to take on Ticketmaster

I really love Fast Company and you can get a cheap subscription along with Inc. for $15 a year for both. This month, the cover story is about Google, voted the #1 "Fast Company". They also listed out their Top 50 companies, based on innovation, business models, companies that "dazzle with new ideas". I thought this one might be of interest to my readers:

#33 Live Nation:

A lot of fuss was made when Live Nation signed Madonna to a reported $120
million deal last year. The Material Matron dropped Warner- her label of 25
years, which still owns her catalog and will get two more albums- and made the
Clear Channel spin-off her exclusive partner: record label, concert promoter,
ticket vendor, and merch agent. The usual phrases were thrown around: "paradigm
shift", "artist empowerment", "death of the label". But the real big news is
what comes next. Live Nation plans to go solo and end its partnership with
Ticketmaster at the end of this year. In doing so, it will break up a long
running duopoly, keep a larger share of lucrative ticket fees for itself, and
crucially, cut Ticketmaster off from key customer data.
"Forty million
customers were coming to our door, and we let Ticketmaster have their addresses
and e-mail,"says Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino. "That's ludicrous."


With ticket sales in-house, naturally the fees should come down, right? I wouldn't hold your breath.
